FAQs
What occasions are these sandals best suited for?
These sandals are ideal for summer events, parties, dinners, and can be dressed up or down to complement various outfits, from casual denim to dresses.
How high is the heel on these sandals?
The sandals feature a 10cm espadrille wedge heel, balanced by a 10cm platform.
Are these sandals comfortable for all-day wear?
While designed for support, the 10cm heel height may require an adjustment period. They are best suited for occasions where comfort is balanced with style, and extensive walking might require a break-in period.
What is the main difference between the espadrille wedge and a regular heel?
An espadrille wedge is made with jute rope wrapped around the sole, offering a more natural and often slightly more stable base compared to a stiletto heel, while still providing height.
How should I clean the espadrille sole?
Gently wipe the espadrille sole with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking it or using abrasive cleaners, as this can damage the jute material.
Can these sandals be worn in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear espadrille sandals in wet weather as moisture can damage the jute material and affect the glue holding the sole together.
What type of outfits do these sandals best complement?
They pair well with summer dresses, skirts, shorts, and tailored trousers. Their classic design makes them versatile for both smart-casual and more formal summer attire.
Troubleshooting
Ankle straps feel loose or too tight
Adjust the buckle on the ankle strap for a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the strap is fastened correctly.
Discomfort after initial wear
This is common with higher heels. Wear the sandals for short periods indoors to gradually break them in. Ensure your size is correct as an ill-fitting shoe will cause more discomfort.
Espadrille sole shows wear
For minor fraying, a small pair of sharp scissors can be used to carefully trim loose threads. For significant damage, professional shoe repair may be necessary.
Discoloration on fabric
Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. For most light marks, a gentle wipe with a slightly damp cloth may suffice. Avoid excessive water.
